Hello. New stuff from Edinburgh.

-Will  (Yes, she played "Will" at a semi-secret show last Saturday. She and Max, I should say. He handled the pedals on the organ. I love Max.)
-The Assistant  (New song that'll presumably be on the solo record, which Amanda hopes will be out by Feb. or March.)
-Umbrella  (I'm not totally sure if this is a "true" cover. She riffs a bit on the uke, then the original track kicks in over the PA. Amanda then lip-syncs (or maybe she is singing???) and strums the uke while dancing up a storm. At the end, she walks off while playing and chanting those lines that shall not be spoken. I guess it counts! Fuck it. The cover counts 'cause I say so.)

Oh my god Will. Will! WILL! *would kill for it*

Dear lord...it’s finally happened. If there were no tapers at that show then I will be very angry.

It was? Oh, I couldn't find it. Only one or two songs, at least.

I seriously doubt it. I wasn't there but my understanding was that it was a completely impromptu thing. The place appears to be a converted church, complete with a pipe organ and church pews on the top floor. For various reasons, I'm going to keep mum about the exact location. Sorry!

Here's the link to the umbrella video.

It was taken on a phone, and not too long, eh.

Here's a full version of Umbrella - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mBV65tTIH_4

Amanda did a cover of "Oh What A World" by Rufus Wainwright with DeVotchka if that counts?

Amanda also did a real cover of Umbrella during the semi-secret show at the Forest.


I can't really remember it at all. I was still blown away by Will at that time. WILL.

That's what I was told. Sorry, I shouldn't have stated it factually like that. I'm 90% sure it's called Valentine's though.

Also, I've heard that The Assistant is called New Assistant. I'm leaning towards the first, but I figured I'd mention that.
